I just did my first progress quiz today and scored 1.58. I'm happy with that as I only started learning Spanish 40 days ago, from scratch, and I've never taught myself a language before. I also can't believe I'm up to level 12 already, although I'm only about half-way down the tree. I do a lot of revision to consolidate as it's all very new - like I said, I've never learnt Spanish before :)

I finished my tree a few weeks ago and took a quiz ... I got 4.5 ... which I was quite pleased with ... but then I left duolingo alone for a few weeks , took another test and only got 3.5 .. so it goes to show that you gotta keep plugging away a little each day or you lose it ... good luck !!!!

I got exactly the same score when I did the quiz. That was about 1 month ago, and I think I was on level 8 as well. Maybe that's roughly where you are at level 8, if you've never done Spanish before (like me)?

I did my first Spanish progress quiz and got a 4.26, which seems way too high for where I'm at on the tree. I only just started with past tense so I'll try not to be too disappointed when my next progress quiz is lower.

I just tried my first progress quiz and scored 2.03. I have been with Duolingo for 10 days and have made it to level nine. I haven't finished a tree yet. I thought it would be fun to try a quiz. I know the areas that need strengthening for me pertain to tenses: present, present progressive, imperfect, future, subjunctive and so forth. But the quiz demonstrated that this is an area of needed growth for me. So... onward it is!

How far are you on the Duolingo tree? When I took the test, the majority of questions were from the trickiest tenses which are all at the bottom of the tree. You have to master those tenses using auxiliary verbs, if you are going to increase your score. I am not happy that Duo doesn't show you which questions you made mistakes on.

From what I can see on other posts this doesn't seem too bad but I'm surprised that there is no feedback on which answers were correct and where I had made a mistake, or whether the mistake was a completely wrong word / spelling or incorrect use of accents. Am I missing something or is this normal?

I'm also supplementing my daily dose of Duo with occasional use of Wlingua, which is helping with vocabulary and some reading comprehension, but I seem to have been stuck at around the 25 - 27% mark and every time I log in to Duo I see more and more revision sessions are needed to keep my strength bars full - do others find this problem in making progress without leaving a trail of incomplete subject areas?
